Richelieu THTDTT83 PWR DRIVE FIT - Dual-Action Premium Trim Screws

Richelieu THTDTT83 PWR DRIVE FIT - Dual-Action Premium Trim Screws

Richelieu THTDTT83 PWR DRIVE FIT - Dual-action Premium Trim Head Screws are engineered for superior performance in trim applications, particularly excelling in assembling strong miters. This innovative screw features a specialized drill tip that simplifies tricky angle starts while significantly reducing the risk of wood splitting, outperforming traditional type 17 screws. The FIT is designed for versatile use, accommodating both face screwing and side applications on standard 3/4 inch wood boards. One of the standout attributes of the FIT is its unique second thread, which operates more slowly than the first. This design creates a clamping effect that enhances assembly strength, compensating for the limited pushing capability of trim head screws. Essentially, it combines the advantages of a small head-almost invisible when installed-with the holding power typically associated with flat head wood screws. Measuring #9 x 3 inches and packaged in a box of 1500, the FIT is particularly effective for robust miter assemblies. Each screw comes with a corrosion-resistant zinc finish and meets the stringent requirements of IBC and IRC building codes. With its T-15 drive size, the Richelieu PWR DRIVE FIT is truly one of the most innovative fasteners introduced to the market in recent years, making it an essential choice for professionals seeking quality and reliability.

PWR DRIVE FIT - Dual-action Premium Trim Head Screws

Power Drive is the new premium line of screw products from Reliable. The PWR Drive FIT is the trim head screw from that line, suitable for all trim applications but especially designed for assembling stronger miters. This screw has a very special drill tip to help with tricky angle starts and will outperform type 17 in preventing wood splitting. This feature allows the FIT to be used not only for face screwing but also on the side of regular 3/4 in wood boards.

The biggest asset of the FIT is without a doubt its second thread: this thread is slower than the first one, producing a clamping effect that gives the FIT an assembly strength that no other trim head screw has. In essence, since all trim head screws have by nature small heads that cannot push, the second thread replaces the strength that the head of a regular flat head wood screw would produce. The FIT is the best of both worlds: assembly strength with a small head that almost disappears.

The FIT #9 x 6 with its very special thread design is particularly useful for assembling ultra strong miters and has to be one of the most innovative screws to hit the fastener market in the past 15 years. Watch the video and see the benefit it brings to deck staircase assemblies.

All PWR FIT screws come with the same corrosion-resistant coating that is used on our structural screws, certified compliant with the IBC and IRC building codes.
